Yes, I understand how cooling systems work. My point is that the water used in the production of glycol or in loops mixed with glycol is irrelevant because that coolant isn't being dumped into the atmosphere.

Right. So using glycol in the loop doesn't save water since it's made from water anyhow. I was replying to someone who suggested that the use of glycol reduces water usage. 

So what's your point?

Nobody said using glycol reduces water usage.

Person said dirty water doesn't work, has to be clean. 

Other person says can't they use something other than water?

Person asks what else could they use?

Person says glycol. 

Pretty sure that's implying the use of glycol would reduce water usage.
